Finally, this mist being dead souls is the theory that makes the most sense for what happens in the Age of the Duskborn cutscene. Some have speculated that the mist is essentially what is conjured in Fia’s spell "Fia’s Mist," which casts a mist filled with Death Blight. While this seems like a logical connection to the Age of the Duskborn ending, it doesn’t fit with what happens. If Fia’s Mist were to envelop the Lands Between, it would kill all Tarnished including the player. But since the Tarnished lives, it is made clear that the mist is not Fia’s Mist in Elden Ring . Instead, it must be the dead souls once contained in the Erdtree, because this better reflects the principle of death being integrated back into Or
Head down the passage until you reach the Scarlet Rot pooling in the next hallway. Several skeletal slimes will slowly shamble after you here, so you’ll need to dispatch them – or simply run past them. The boss room is at the far end of this Scarlet Rot passage, but halfway into this room, turn right and head up the thin staircase . Make sure to grab the Ghost Glovewort [4] just by the entra
This fact becomes important to the mist when Godwyn’s curse mark is combined with Ranni’s to make the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince. Since the curse marks are combined, the rune can cause both the souls and bodies of living things in the world of Elden Ring 's Lands Between . This is why the Erdtree turns pallid and leafless when the Rune of the Death-Prince becomes part of the Elden Ring: the souls and bodies buried in its roots face permanent death, removing the life force from the tree. And just as Erdtree’s leaves die and fall as a result of this, so too must the tree shed the dead souls it contained. And since the Erdtree emanates a mist in the Age of the Duskborn cutscene, it appears the mist is precisely how the Erdtree sheds itself of these dead so
Stand at the Behind the Castle Site of Grace for Castle Morne and look towards the cliffs. There will be a small area below with roof access to parts of the castle, and on some scaffolding below is a corpse with another
What’s more, the mist being souls explains the few areas in the game where mist exists before the Duskborn ending: the Mistwood and the forest of the Altus Plateau. The Altus Plateau’s woods are directly above where Godwyn is buried, so it would make sense that his curse mark would have infected the area's roots and killed the souls they contained. As for the Mistwood, this is the first area in the game where players have access to the ancient world buried beneath the Lands Between. This ancient world was rejected by Elden Ring 's Golden Order , so it would only make sense that their souls were rejected from the Erdtree and thus smothered the Mistwood in
Iron Fist Alexander is a bit less serious than many NPCs in the game, a much appreciated reprieve in a world rife with suffering and despair. He's a lovable but somewhat bumbling sort who manages to get himself stuck numerous times. Not to mention -- he is part of a race of walking, talking Living J
His followers, numerous as they were, followed their Lord with heads held high and a fiery resolve in their hearts, trusting in their leader that he would preserve their shared desire for a world without The Greater Will. Their devotion and sacrifice would ultimately end in Lord Praetor Rykard and Volcano Manor's downfall. On his journey to uncover and fully comprehend the true nature of the dark sorcery hidden beneath Mt. Gelmir, Rykard took on a partner in Tanith, a fearless and bloodthirsty consort who becomes the head of Volcano Manor at the culmination of the legacy dungeon quest l
Sellen is a truly intriguing character whose story takes a number of twists and turns from beginning to end. As is the case with most who meddle with sorcery, they tend to be involved in a number of morally gray happenings. Just as you will likely stumble upon her by accident, you will also stumble upon a number of other things related to her that will leave you with more questions than you will ever have answers
The return of death suggests a lot about the mist in the Duskborn ending. The Rune of the Death-Prince has a dramatic effect on the appearance of the Erdtree in Fia's deathly ending to Elden Ring . The Erdtree becomes pallid and barren and emanates the mysterious mist. In this way, it seems that the Death-Rune causes the Erdtree to die. This is a huge deal, as the Erdtree absorbs the souls of those touched by Grace, allowing them to live eternally. Thus, if the Erdtree dies, so too do the souls that live in it. This then suggests that the mist that emanates from the Erdtree is actually the dead souls that were once a part of the living Erdt
This is the most straightforward ending to Elden Ring and requires nothing more than beating the game. You form the Elden Ring back together and begin the Age of Fracture as the new Elden Lord. Like the previous Dark Souls games, this ending is insignificant, as your ascension to the Lord does nothing to help the underlying issues of the world. The Elden Ring Rune farming Ring has been reformed, but its effects on the land will only cause another war and another breaking of the ring one day. For now, the demigods have been stopped, and the war is finally over, but it can only be speculated for how long the peace will l
